I was incredibly stupid and decided to put an older plate from my old truck on my new car because it's a cool plate and kept the new plate in my car. Today I was pulled over and cited for not wearing a seat belt and and when I explained that I put the plate from my old car on he was not a fan and gave me a citation for attaching tag (license plate) not assigned and 118$ citation for not wearing a seat belt.
I called ticket clinic and they want 1800$ because it's a criminal charge as a second degree misdemeanor which could be 60 days in jail or probation. How do I proceed? A local lawyer wants 1500. I have to call the court in ten days and I don't want to spend 1500. Do I try to call the court and represent myself and hope they don't give me probation or jail time? honestly dont know how they handle something like this, I don't have a criminal record and I'm not trying to get one but 1500 dollars Is an unbelievable amount of money to spend for something so stupid. lawyers said they usually don't have enough evidence but I told the officer that I wanted to hang it up because i like the agriculture plate. Can I plead innocent or just be really sorry and know how stupid it was?
I was also wondering if the best option for the speeding ticket is to do a drivers course?
